The Blackhawks and Luke Richardson has decided to make changes to every single line but one.
The new lines are:
1. Hall-Bedard-Raddysh
2. T. Johnson-Reichel-Athanasiou
3. Foligno-Dickinson-Perry
4. Katchouk-Donato-R. Johnson
D1. Korchinski-Jones
D2. Vlasic-Jones
D3. Tinordi-Kaiser
Starting in goal: Soderblom
The only line they didn't change was forward line 3.
Korchinski being on the first line with Seth Jones could be a very good thing. Korchinski was more of an offensive defenseman in the WHL, and having Jones as a more defensive defenseman could allow Kevin to play more of his game.
Athanasiou needed to be put back with Reichel. It was either move Reichel at first line RW with Bedard, or move Andreas back with him. Reichel and Athanasiou worked well together last year and can hopefully make more magic this year.
